We
visited Wat Sing Sutthawat 2 days before they held a huge ceremony for Jatukam
amulet blessing. Hence the entire temple ground, the halls and the Buddha images
were all connected with multiple strings of fai phu khaen, the white strings
which are normally given by a monk and tied around one's wrist. Inside the
ubosot, large amounts of boxes with amulets where placed, which took away from the beauty of
the Buddha image and the murals on the walls. This temple was one of the many
(mental) confrontations with had with the craze for the Jatukam amulets in
Thailand during 2007.
